Aspens hold up their branches,
providing evidence of
the passage of time;
giving seasonal testimony
through their leaves
that swear to tell
the whole truth;
green, greener, gold, and gone.
Holding their knotted trunks
before you like an offering.
Like a gift facing the future.
Accepting change.
Tiny green
banners of hope
flagging in the wind.
